As is common knowledge any American President can only serve eight years in the White House. So, this is Mr. Obama’s final act. He gave what some thought was an Obama-style speech Tuesday night at his final State of The Union address; while others thought it was a typical speech that was disrespectful and unbefitting of the Presidency. Some also said that he was too boastful of his record and dismissive of his failures.

I think that couldn’t be further from the truth. If you listen to his address he admitted that he was very disappointed that he couldn’t bring the Politicians of both parties together for the American people. He admitted that he was disappointed that the economy was not more rewarding to Middle Class and Low Income families. That being said he also did what he was supposed to do: He talked about all the shit he got done!

It’s absolutely shameful that so many Republicans don’t want to give this man credit for what he’s done and who he is. Contrary to what Speaker Ryan and other Presidential candidates had to say, this was one of the Classic Obama speeches. He spoke up the countries progress and opportunities. He spoke up the economy that was in free fall and the industries that recovered from the brink of disaster. He spoke up the decision the Supreme Court made to declare marriage equality for all law of the land. He spoke up the American Military and the Service men and women.

He spoke of the power that the United States still holds in the world, and if you doubt that just look at all the countries that still turn to the U.S. for help with their problems. He has helped to reshape the image of America, while being trashed by Republican pundits and Congressmen who think he is an apologist and secret Muslim and a foreign born citizen. Accompanied by his stunningly beautiful wife Tuesday night, President Obama delivered the goods one more time. He showed everyone while his time in office is coming to an end, he is still the man who can galvanize folks.

Love him or hate him, his ability to give those kinds of speeches like he did is something that will always be tied to this President. Let’s remember it was that riveting speech at the 2004 DNC that thrust him into the national spotlight and paved the way for his historic candidacy. Tuesday night I’m sure won’t be his last speech as President, but as far as grading it for his final required address before Congress, he went out with 10’s across the board! Well done Mr. President!

You know I’ve spoken out many times about the racial inequality and the justice systems prejudicial inequality when it comes to civilians, Black people, versus the law. As we’ve seen now with just about every case whether it be the African American who mysteriously died in prison, Tamir Rice being shot and killed in cold blood, Treyvon Martin, Freddie Gray, the young man in Chicago and her neighbor, Eric Garner, Mike Brown and the list goes on.

The only Prosecutor that had the stones to file charges was the Baltimore County Prosecutor who charged all the officers involved with the Freddie Gray murder. Ironically enough the first officer could not be convicted due to a hung jury. The most recent case of Grand Jury media frenzy decisions, Tamir Rice, returned the expected decision: No Charges to be filed. How much bullshit is that? Or really did anyone in the Black community actually think that charges were going to be filed? Maybe someone who has lived in a shell for the past 3 years did, but if you’ve been watching you would’ve known to not have any hopes.

I’m so sick and tired of seeing all these sorry ass white people coming out with these fake ass exhausted looks on their faces, like they really are torn or in anguish or wanted their people to go down. The reality is as long as there is this standing rule that Police should have the autonomy to kill at their leisure there will never be true accountability for these officers who think that they’re Gods in the flesh. I’m so sorry to say that the instances we’ve seen all over t.v. aren’t the exceptions anymore, in reality they are the norms.

I am very saddened to see that there is not enough transparency for the process of justice. We can argue and disagree with the crimes committed. We can disagree with the amount of time anyone should spend in jail, but the one thing that we should not have to argue about is whether justice will come to all. I’m glad that there are reforms being put in place. I’m glad that folks are bringing to light the problems in the justice system and my prayer is that some day, maybe soon, we will come to realize that all people need to be brought to task for their wrongdoings, not just the criminals.

Over the past few months, I’ve been writing from all angles about the upcoming President election next year. I have talked about the cunning, yet jack ass that is Donald Trump. I have written about the uninspiring field the Democrats have, because of Hillary’s inability to connect to middle America and the reasons that this could be a poor turnout election. Let me truly offer another pointed reason why young people are completely turned off to this process this cycle and why we really need an overhaul of the election system.

Trump is able to go out on National television and disrobe Hillary Clinton with his macho, egotistical statements and not have any recourse. His supporters laugh at the foolishness that comes out his mouth and are so vehement in support of his nonissues platform. He talks a big game, but truth is he has yet to put out any real specifics about how he would Govern the country.

The opponents of Trump in the race for the nomination are such bitches, because they’re scared of his backlash and the bases hatred for them if they speak against Trump, that they refuse to take a true stand and call him out for his insensitive and divisive remarks. They instead will find ways to softly reject his words, while giving their opinions that aren’t all that much different from his, just with a softer touch.

It has to be disheartening to young people who want to hear what each candidate really stands for and what issues they will fight for in this election. The Democrats really don’t have a candidate that’s lighting the world on fire either. Hillary can’t keep from lying and Bernie doesn’t have a sound foreign policy strategy, so we’re left to take the best of the two and that is Mrs. Clinton

I’ve written many times that this is the most uninspiring pre-election cycle that I’ve been able to witness since 43 ran for a second term against John Kerry in 2004. There is not a candidate in the race who is really wanting to take a positive message of inclusiveness, togetherness, rebuilding, and reinventing to the people and sell it hard. Instead all these candidates want to do is see who can be in position to top Trump if he ever falters.

I wish Elizabeth Warren or one of the other bright, young Democratic Representatives, Senators or state Congressmen would have ran for President. At least we would be able to have someone truly speaking to the voice of the masses and not the elite or crazies of the minorities. Hopefully, we get some fresh blood soon, because after the historic heat generated by President Obama the last eight years, this is a major letdown.

Trump doesn’t speak the truth, he speaks hate, bigotry, lunacy, prejudice and elitism. Hillary Clinton speaks lies, elitism and false middle class understanding. No wonder the media takes to Trump over anyone else. All the rest of the candidates are trying to fit themselves somewhere around these two candidates. What a suck ass election we’re going to have.

2020 anyone… HAHA
